Blood, guts, gore and every human emotion
This book really does take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions.
I felt angry when reading about the time wasters, hoax callers, alcoholics and drug addicts who put other people's lives in jeopardy because they take up so much of Stuart Gray's time.
I felt relief when a life was saved in the most difficult conditions and I found myself in tears when reading the chapter about maternity care.
Splitting up the chapters are boxes which explain, in easy language, some of the medical terms familiar to paramedics but not to laymen. They are really informative and I am also a wiser person for reading them.
Above all, A Paramedic's Diary gives a great insight into the life a paramedic - it is not like any hospital drama I have ever seen! A really interesting read.
Brilliant
The first book that I have ever read cover to cover without putting it down;negative impact on social life, but utterly worth it!
Follow-on posts on the author's blog have you checking for more material daily.
YOU HAVE GOT TO REA THIS!......ITS DUTY!
You will be a better person for reading this book. It is such a fantastic read and really gives an in-depth insight into what a Paramedic actually does. It will have you hanging off your chair in suspense, laughing out loud and almost making you cry. Its gory but tasteful.
I would rccommend this book to EVERYONE. Please read it and then give it 5*. Once you read the book you will see that the author (paramedic) sounds like such a sweet chap so i want him to do brilliantly well with this brilliant book!!!!!
